19. Interesting thread, in the context that Bernie was on TV last week saying

that even if he is behind Hillary in pledged delegates and trailing in the popular vote at the time of the convention, he will pull aside superdelegates to try to persuade them to switch their vote from Hillary to Bernie. This is the essence of the "back room deal".

I wonder how the OP feels about Bernie's plan to flip superdelegates to the runner up?

Apologies for linking to Andrea Mitchell, but I couldn't quickly locate the clip where Bernie also explains his plan to Rachel Maddow.
